Coming off a bye, the Virginia Tech football team will host California on Friday night at Lane Stadium in an ACC game. Interim coach Philip Montgomery is leading the Hokies for the rest of the season while the search committee begins its search for Brent Pry's replacement.
Despite an interim coach and questions surrounding the program going forward, Virginia Tech picked up a commitment on Wednesday. Class of 2026 tight end Isaiah Pina committed to the Hokies, becoming the first tight end commit since the 2023 cycle. The 6-foot-6 Pina from Florida picked Virginia Tech over several schools, including UNLV, where Dan Mullen is the head coach and is a sleeper candidate for the position in Blacksburg.
